When we called for moving items to both a storage unit and an apartment, they were professional over the phone and sent three employees which was definitely appreciated. Jesse, John, and Arron were great throughout the about five hours of helping us move. All throughout the move they had a very positive attitude, and it was clear they handled all of our items with care. They made sure our furniture pieces and other fragile items were wrapped up to be transported safely. They even helped with repairing a minor furniture fix they noticed before moving the item, showing how they both inspect each item as well as look out for their customers. Moving to a fifth floor in an apartment with a far elevator was definitely a challenge so made sure to warn them in advance! They did a great job filling the elevator each time to speed up the move. Overall, we were very happy with how quickly and professionally they helped us move items to both our storage unit and apartment. Definitely appreciated their care with all of our items. Would highly recommend them and will definitely be calling them when moving again. read more

Seriously, They suck. I was just in a hurry and should have done more research. The people you talk to have nearly zero communication with the actual moving team. They set up packing and moving my 4 BR house for 1 day. I called back and asked if they could do that in a day. They didn't know and asked me what I thought..... I said doubtful. Turns out they couldn't even pack it in 1 day with double the help. Then they kept telling me if they go over 8 hours, by law I have to pay overtime..... finally I told them they are not my employees so by law that is BS. Elite needs to pay them overtime..... They are clueless, slow, broke furniture, dented items already in the new house by bumping into them. They lost screws, even legs to furniture, put items in wrong places, didn't label boxes. I called relatives frantically to help unload to get these guys the F out of my house. Unless you are very desperate, DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. read more

This company is a SCAM! Do not under any circumstances hire them. I didnt even take a photo of the window they broke. They were careless with our items - said our move would take 1-2 days it took 3 days - AND they didn't even finish moving us. We ended up kicking them out on the 3rd day. Entire rooms were left behind. Easily the worst move I have ever experienced of my life I dont have the space or time to go into all the details. They quoted us one price and tried to charge us double on the 3rd day for overtime???? Because they were slow and sent a truck that was too small and only 3 people to move a 5 bedroom home they wanted me to pay more? We refused to sign the paperwork and they charged us anyways which is fraud. Now they are receiving reverse charges and a lawsuit. Someone needs to shut these people down. We gave them multiple chances to make things right - they kept giving us the number for a fake customer service rep in the Phillipines who reads off a script. They keep reinventing themselves with Elite in the name from San Diego Elite moving to San Diego Elite furniture moving to Elite Moving San Diego - it is all the same people. I have found several companies online that all lead to the same place. Do not hire them!!!! I promise you the 5 star reviews are fake. Daniel and his team are con artists. They are not BBB certified and I doubt they are insured. read more

It was awful and ugly! Be very careful because these guys will hound you to do your move and they tell you to be careful of movers who nickel and dime you to death, so you end up choosing them and then the day before your move they hit you with the nickel and dimes. We never received a notice the day before because it went to our spam folder so we were unaware of the possible charges. Then at the end we got hit for multiple charges and I told them that I only wanted the free blankets for everything and I got charged for a complete roll of bubble wrap ($95) and other rolls of bubble wrap. Then after they finished the movers added their own personal tip for the move which was $200. Never in my life have I ever seen anything like this. We then called the owner and it got ugly and he threatened me and told me that he was going to call the police on me because I wasn't going to pay for things unrelated to the move that they were demanding that I pay including an astronomical tip (20%) which is bull because we were already paying for their hourly charges. On top of that they broke a leg on our antique dresser and refused to get it fixed. It was a complete disaster! read more

Lynn Bembenek 1 review The details of this move were horrendous and way too long for the characters allowed but I'll be happy to fill anybody in if they want to write me at Lynnbembenek@gmail.com. But to put it as succinctly in a nutshell as I can when I book this I told the owner who is the worst human being I think I've met a long time that it was a 640 square-foot one bedroom apartment with some packing to do I had all the packing material so that he didn't have to send anything and charge me for it He sent two guys in a truck. the truck was too small. the senior guy said that immediately and that we weren't moving a studio we were moving a one bedroom which yes I had told the owner that , I even gave him the square footage. It took them all day to stop and continually try to figure out how to get my whole apartment into this truck that was too small. Ended up not being able to so they have not fulfilled the contract. Didn't get the whole place moved so I have to go back and do it with pick up trucks and friends which defeated the purpose of the movers in the first place. the owner came to find out what the problem was because The senior mover guy kept calling him and telling him that we did not have the room in the truck he told me that he would send it back again the next day but that he would charge me again I declined. He dead face and told me to my face, that I had too much stuff How dare you ! at the end of the day after every piece of furniture is damaged or completely destroyed he charged me $2300 Which I refused to pay because he charged me 13 hours which wasn't my fault since he sent too small a truck in the first place and the job is not done so he didn't fulfill his contract. and then he told me that he was going to call the police and have the police arrest me Because I wasn't going to pay his bill of course I'm not gonna pay his bill it's extortion! I gave him 1400 which is I feel reasonable for what they did considering I have to do the rest of it and replace furniture . I've included pictures, I've had to completely replace the dresser I have to repair the kitchen floor One of the bookcases I can use although shorter because the bottom broke off of it , every finish off of every piece of wood needs repair, the guys were great they were working with an inferior size truck and a Boss that just would not listen and a boss that was A ridiculous kind of human and the way he spoke to his employees in front of the client was the worst kind of human but the way that he talked to me as a client this man should not be in business at all. But he had the $300 initial That he had taken out of my card and I authorized the 1100 after that but instead of taking the 1100 straight up he took four different pulls with different amounts of money I have a feeling that he was trying to get his 2300 and my card shut him down Because why wouldn't he just take the 1100 that was authorized why would you try to put it in different amounts which I also included in the pictures This man should not be in business and his employees should go somewhere else and get a different job that they be treated not as caged animals but have the wherewithal that if their boss didn't even come out to estimate and estimated over the phone and didn't listen to the client and what the client was saying and then turned around and said you have too much stuff to the client , of course, all my stuff for storage is inside it's going to go into a new home which was a bigger than a one bedroom but it doesn't matter if I have too much stuff or not how dare you say that to a client when you are a moving company hired to move an apartment what would've happened if I had been moving out of state and didn't have the ability to come back on my own at a later date this man should not be in business . read more

They gave me a discount to give a 5 star review, but their service never sat well with me. They show up on the day of my move and said I have 2 bedrooms worth of stuff for a studio apartment. Really? How was I supposed to know that? Would have helped if they looked at what I was moving beforehand. They charged extra to wrap my furniture in plastic. Furthermore, because I lived in an apartment building, all my belongings were scattered in the hallways and the elevator until it was placed in the truck. The 2 guys did their best given the circumstances but the move took too long, truck was barely big enough and they did some damage to the walls as well. Could have been better prepared. read more

Short answer: NO! DO NOT RECOMMEND UNLESS YOU WANT A NIGHTMARE MOVING EXPERIENCE. Long answer: Husband used a few years back and they were good so figured to use them again. This time, was a nightmare. The crew didn't get along with each other and there was one that was blatantly rude to the others, cursing at them, and being extremely unprofessional...all in front of the customers. One guy ended up walking out on the job but not before the two main guys almost getting into a fight on our front lawn!!! We nearly called the cops but the owner begged us not to. He said he would comp us for the entire move and then later went back on his word and just gave us a discount instead. Crazy drama, fighting, cursing, damaged furniture, and headaches! As if moving isn't stressful enough, this company will make it your worst nightmare. read more

Great company to work with, smart careful movers who treat your stuff like it's theirs. Kenta and Richard were incredible and smart movers. They took their time to make sure things were pack safely. If you are looking to move and want peace of mind go with Elite. read more

We use them three years ago and they were very good it happened to be that one person asked me for a recommendation then I went back to our email exchange to see if they are still in business and they are I found that I did not put a recommendation before so I wanted to pass my experience with them when we moved and it was great very nice people very professional they took care of everything and they are type of team that you will trust with your private stuff with them read more

Ramon, John, & Carlos showed up on time and ready to work on a hot October day. They were so professional and friendly, making sure to wrap the large items tightly, being careful not to scratch our floors or damage anything. I highly recommend them and would hire them again in a heartbeat. They really were like superheroes helping with my move. Also, they worked fast! Moved most of the items from my 2 bedroom condo to our new home in just under 3 hours. Thanks guys! read more

Buyer beware they say. This management of this company is just short a scam. I received a flyer in the mail saying the hourly rate for two men was $129 which was great. However, they use false advertising and do add on's when the job is done. The flyer also said $50 off local moves and $100 for long distance moves and FREE BOXES. I spoke with Armando and asked if my mover of 74 miles was considered local or long. He said it was local so fine. $50 off. I asked if the free boxes were for any items. He said they were for wardrobe boxes. So again I said great. I hired them. What a nightmare it was. Two guys (Fernando & Richard) arrived who were actually good. Richard couldn't speak English or understand it but whatever. I had 1 bed, one rocker recliner, 1 chair with ottoman and the rest boxes that I had already packed. It took them over 5 hours to load the truck. They didn't think of loading the elevator fully like they should have. I lived in a high rise so yes the freight elevator was slow at times due to other's using it. It took 11 hours for them to complete the job. The job shouldn't have taken more then 6 or 7 hours like my previous moves which had more furniture. The worst part is with the owner Daniel. When they presented the final invoice they said I owed $1,749.50 total. They didn't discount the $50 and Daniel charged me for the 2 wardrobe boxes. I said Armando told me they were free. He said they are free if I use them to transport clothes but that if I kept them I would be charged $20 each. The only positive and good part of this so called moving company were the two guys who moved me with their attitude. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy. read more

I was in a bind with the friends who were supposed to help me move coming down with Covid the day before my move! I called Elite Moving thinking there would be no way they could help me. About 20 minutes later I received a call from Jeremiah who gave me the times his guys could help me and got me booked. His guys showed up on time, were courteous and got the move done quickly. read more

Excellent service! They showed up on time and helped me with any furniture placement. The two staff who helped me were so kind and personable. Great at listening and focused the entire 3 hours. Very hard working team, even on a hot summer day. Highly recommend, not sure what I would've done without them! Be sure to check in for $30 discount and get all your boxes organized prior to pick up to make the most of their/your time! read more

My family and i just recently moved to a new house. We were highly unsatisfied with our first set of movers from a different company. However, It was a blessing in disguise when we found Elite Moving on craigslist. This company was more affordable, professional, courteous and helped make the rest of our move into our new house a unstressful one. Angel and Joseph were our movers for 2 days and we're exceptional in their work. They worked diligently, productive and made sure our home items were in good hands. Our house was able to be packed up and ready to go with just these 2 movers. We were highly impressed. For anyone looking for a set of movers, I recommend this company. Thank you Elite Moving from my family and I. read more

They are amazing! They helped us move from Spring Valley to South San Diego. We hired 3 movers and I didn't get their names coz my husband was the one in contact with them but they were all very professional and courteous. They were very careful in moving all our stuff. Nothing broke or scratched or damaged! Highly recommend these moving company. Their prices are fair compared to other companies we have inquired with. I'm really glad we went with them. read more

John and Eddie were excellent movers. They were professional, kind, cautious, efficient and we're all around great to work with. This is the second time we've used Elite and are still as impressed as ever. Thank you!! read more

Got lazy I mean busy friends? Call Elite movers!!! Our move was a short notice and it was raining. Angel and Anthony did an awesome job. Professional, quick and did everything with sense of urgency. They know what their doing and will make anything easier for you. Again, it was raining and they still manage to move our stuff carefully and did not waste any time. Hiring them was one of the best decesion I have ever made. We didn't lose any friends, because they would have to work harder than Elite movers and no one got hurt. I will definitely hire them again on our next move and refer them to anybody I know. Handsdown the best movers! Thank you so much Angel and Anthony. read more

I needed an antique piano moved from the private home I purchased it from to my home, so I went to yelp and requested quotes from multiple companies. Elite was very quick to reply and provided a flat rate quote detailed with everything included since I was only having one heavy item moved. The price was fair (not the lowest or highest) and they were available at the time I needed the move. I appreciated the detailed reply, as many of the other companies gave me one sentence or a number to call with no price. I called them to confirm the information and was set to move the piano in just 2 days. Dalton and Freddie arrived right on time to the pick up address. They were polite and friendly and discussed their plan to move the piano before getting their equipment ready. Old pianos are extremely heavy and I was impressed with their strength and expertise moving the piano without damaging the piano itself or anything else they were maneuvering around. They arrived safely to my home and took the same care placing the piano where I wanted it. They took special care not to damage my wood floors as well. They were quick, professional, and I couldn't be happier! I will definitely call on Elite moving again for any future moving needs. read more

We hired Elite Moving after moving my wife's aunt and uncle down to San Diego from San Jose. After packing a 20 ft truck and 12 ft trailer for two days straight, and driving the whole way, we were worn out and needed help. Our bodies were just worn down and we know it would take multiple days to get everything out of the truck. We called Elite the night before and asked if they could send 3 movers the next day. Without hesitation they said sure! Next morning, right on time, Joey, Jamal, and Freddy came to our rescue. They quickly got to work and unloaded the truck at an unbelievable pace. We really felt it would take all day or maybe two to get it done by ourselves. They unloaded the truck, in under 3 hours! Including that they also moved our large and heavy items into place. Joey, Jamal and Freddy did an amazing job and we seriously couldn't be happier. Thanks so much Elite Moving and crew for making this happen on such short notice!! read more

I almost never write reviews, but this company and these people are the worst moving company I've had the displeasure of knowing. It was a NIGHTMARE using this moving company. Let me just give you an example of what it's like to have "Elite" movers move you... First of all, they will take their sweet time to move out your stuff. It took them 6+ hours to move about 10 pieces of furniture from an apartment to a house that was only 20 minutes away. They would take something out of the apartment, down to the trunk, and then we wouldn't see them for a half hour. Then they'd come back and take forever again with the next item. We already didn't trust these guys based on how they were milking the clock and not being very careful with my furniture when they moved it, but we didn't really have another choice at this point and had to stick it out for the unpacking part of the move. We didn't think it could get any worse, but it did. When they finally arrived at our new house, they started taking off the furniture blankets before moving the items in, which made it so dust and dirt from the garage walls got onto our couch. One of the guys went to go reassemble my bed and ripped both of the box spring fabrics while also managing to lose ALL of the screws to my bed frame. He made the decision to use part of the screws from a different piece of furniture I had to get himself out of this predicament. So now, not only do the screws not fit (they are way too small and most fell out within a week), but I am now putting up with shaky furniture because half the wood isn't even screwed in! I finally went into my bedroom to go check on the guy since he'd been in there a while and found him taking a phone call, not even acting professional like he was on a job. The guys failed to mention to us prior to starting the job that we would be charged 2x the hourly rate during driving time (which makes no sense, by the way) and also didn't tell us there was an extra "materials" charge. We ended up shelling out over $500 for the worst, longest moving job in history and are left with broken, dirty furniture after using the FARTHEST from "elite movers" I could ever imagine. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! I feel like we were scammed and robbed of our $500 by using these guys. You couldn't pay ME to use this company ever again. read more

I have never written a Yelp review, but my service was so poor, I must warn other people. First off, I have a 600sf 1 bedroom apartment with no bedroom furniture and just one sofa. My total move should not have taken more than the 3 hour minimum. But because the two guys were SO SLOW and spent so much time laughing and "doing whatever" downstairs and in the truck, it took 5 HOURS!! It took 3 hours just for them to load the truck, which is completely absurd! The guys would often make trips with just one item in hand. Small items that could easily be combined with other things. Then, it would take 10 minutes for them to come back! I even tried to help because I was losing my mind with how long it was taking, but they told me I couldn't go in the truck. I was so upset and felt so cheated and taken advantage of. I honestly feel like if there was a male with me, they wouldn't have pulled this stunt. On top of all of that...... THEY LEFT BOXES in the closet!!! When I called them, first my calls kept being ignored. Then the guy tells me that they can't do it until 3 days later. Then they say they can come that day, but I will be charged the hourly rate because the workers said they did a walkthrough with me.. which was a complete LIE! The worker came to me, said they had everything, and we left. (Not before, I walk on the elevator to find one of my lamps still sitting there because they forgot it. smh) I am completely dissatisfied with their service and I hope no one makes the same mistake. I should have chosen Flex Moving or CT Moving like my neighbors. read more

I was NOT offered insurance twice. Please do not lie. Also as soon as I posted this review I never heard back from the owner of this company because he was upset about the review. My TV is not easily replaceable due to the fact my TV is WHITE. Please tell me where you would be able to replace JUST the neck of my WHITE TV? read more

Great company from the time I called and scheduled my move all the way till they unloaded my last item. These guys are like super hero to the moving industry. The most energetic crew I have ever had Tim, John and carlos. They came in a knocked what I thought was going to take them at least 8 hours they finished just over 5 hours. Great crew look forward to using them again. Thanks Josef for the great crew... read more

Elite snail team I have moved twice with this company but not going to do it again. The 1st time it was ok but the 2nd time they really took their time. Shook my head, paid the bill and told to myself nevermore. read more

I found this company on Craigslist and was just sifting through multiple ads. They answered my email first and was completely helpful answering all my questions to make my decision to them use them, over anybody else. I'm so glad I did. The two guys, Jeremiah and Angel were so fast, super strong and not any issues, and were all around just so awesome guys to have the pleasure of moving me. They were fast, efficient, and charming personalities. I am using again for my next move! read more

Angel & alex were phenomenal!!!!! I am so lucky to have them for movers. Today was our first time ever moving and we finally took a chance and called for a mover. We didn't know what to expect so I literally googled movers and sure enough ELITE MOVERS popped up. They were so nice down to earth people, everything was easy and SUPER fast! We finished under 3hrs and after paying I was shocked because I couldn't believe the price and how good it was. I thought it was too good to be true. Thank you angel and alex you guys are truly a great help! Keep up the good work! I will be coming back next time we move. read more

These guys were awesome! They showed up on time, and worked non-stop to complete our move! Ask for Joey, Jamal and Freddy, experienced, hard working guys with great attitudes! I recommend using their services! read more

Fast Movers via Elite Moving Company were some of the best movers we have ever had. They were professional and very personable. We tried to make the move for them as simple as possible but if something came up or changed, they were able to adapt and fit what they could in the truck. Dalton, Carlos and Brian were class acts and would recommend them to anyone who is moving. read more

Joseph and Alex did a great job with my 1 bedroom move. They were nice, polite, and enthusiastic even though it was so hot that day. They didn't give me any attitude even though I had mistakenly assumed they brought their own drinking water/beverage with them in their truck, like the other movers I hired in the past, who refused to drink ice cold water from a pitcher. Anyway, I quickly resolved the issue and bought bottled beverages. They must have thought I was an insensitive, heartless bitch. Sorry guys for the wrong assumption. To be honest, I didn't really have a lot of stuff and thought that the 2 hour minimum would be sufficient to get it done. After all, everything was packed and ready to go, with just the essential furnitures to fit a 500 square feet apartment. It took 3 hours. My rate for 2 guys and a truck was $59/hour if paying cash. I believe it costs more if you pay with credit card. It was fairly easy to schedule with them. They didn't damage any of my stuff either. $30 fuel charge, plus tip. Don't forget to tip them! Movers are really hard workers. I was extra thankful that day for the fact that I am not doing their job every single day. I was very exhausted that day, and I wasn't even the one doing the heavy lifting! My advise is to just supervise your move to ensure that everything is moving along and that no time is wasted. Make sure your things are packed to avoid any delay, which equates to more moving time, and more costs. I would hire them again in the future. They even smile at the end of the transaction! How can you be that happy after all that work? They are true professionals. read more

I highly recommend Elite moving for your moves. I had the pleasure of meeting movers Chance and Angel. They are courteous and polite. They started right on time, explained the entire moving process with me and got the job done. They are truly professionals. Call now to reserve your move time. read more

Mark and Abraham were quick to move all my stuff from the second floor to the third floor quick. I appreciate all their help and I would recommend them to anyone who is moving big or small. read more

Their name says it all! I found these guys through a Yelp search and saw they had excellent reviews so I decided to schedule them for our move. Boy am I glad I did!!! These guys are the best start to finish! They took excellent care of all our belongings and furniture, were efficient, and provide amazing customer service all around! I can't imagine another moving company topping these guys! If I do move again they are guaranteed to have my repeat business and I will be telling all my friends to use Elite! If you are moving or need any of their services you cannot go wrong! Call them today! THANK YOU AGAIN ANGEL, JOESPH, & RAMON!!! You guys ROCK!!! read more

Best price we found to move our upright piano. Elite moving was fantastic with communicating and their team was punctual, friendly, and efficient. I would recommend them to my friends and family. read more

John and Pete were awesome! They were able to get us out of our old apartment and into our new place in a matter of a few hours. It was the fastest and easiest move we have ever done. They really kicked ass. They also put everything exactly where I wanted it, no questions asked. I would HIGHLY recommend them with Elite if you are ever looking for a moving company. On top of the amazing service they were also fun to talk to and joke around with. It made us feel like we were moving with family, not just a moving company. Absolutely awesome! Thank you John and Pete!! read more

I am not a competitor and I absolutely used this company. Speaks volumes to their character that they are lying on their response we on their yelp review instead of taking time to rectify our experience. Do not use this company! read more

Dalton, Tim & Bryan were awesome! They were professional as well as being guys with great personalities and extremely entertaining to interact with. They took all of the stress out of our move and did it with such finesse in 3 hours, that we're mind blown!!! Thank you for all your hard work guys! Hey Joseph, these guys need a raise!!! read more

These guys were awesome. They not only moved my heavy console piano up two flights or stairs with 90 degree landings at both top and, they moved antique furniture with care, even removing the mirror from the dresser. We also had some extremely heavy garage items. And we weren't done packing when they arrived but they efficiently got of through it all. Great teamwork. I'd recommend them highly. read more

Great experience with dalton, Brian and Timmy! Easy and professional move! Were able to get moved with a few hours!

Alex and Ramon were awesome. However I originally ordered 4 guys and a truck got a call the night before the move and was told the truck only had 3 seat belts so they could only send 3 guys. I said ok. The morning of the move 2 guys show. I had a lot of boxes and furniture and wanted 4 guys to get it all done in one day. Instead it was a two day move. I wanted to hire movers not help and I got help. The 2 guys they sent worked very hard and were over worked due to their bosses lack of concern for the customer. I should have gone with another company and would not recommend Elite moving to anyone. read more

The best Movers we have ever hired living in San Diego for 40 years! Dalton & Tim showed up exactly on time and cranked super high energy and got a potential 6 hour move done in 5 hours..Total pros that know how to get it done quickly and with everything being moved and delivered in one piece. Would highly recommend them. read more
